by Phoebe Francis Brown

A mesmerising portrait of Hope. Intimate, boundary-pushing, brilliant, Phoebe Frances Brown’s autobiographical one-woman show is a compelling and intimate retelling of a life cut tragically short. Growing up in Nottingham, acting has defined Phoebe’s life. She took every opportunity (including the Central TV Workshop). In 2018, as a 26-year- old actor, now working in London, she’s auditioning for television, filming feminist comedy sketches and has just been cast in Small Island at the National Theatre. But in November, doctors discover an incurable tumour in her brain that will severely affect her speech and memory, the “two very basic things” required to act. The Glad Game is Phoebe’s story; the story of finding yourself in the darkest moments, about leaning on those who love you and finding reasons, however small or silly, to find humour and be glad.
